Mini Print

Ooooh, aaaah, wow wee! Fireworks! This is my mini print that I am just about to go downstairs and screen print for this years Snap mini print exhibition. Should be a damn fine selection of top illustrators, artists and print makers all squeezed onto 21 of your square centimeters. Find out more here, or if you are free from 6pm on the 8th July come along for a damn good time.

This is ground control to Major Tom (Frost)

A few weekends ago I undertook my first workshop teaching kids how to make some toys. It was for the lovely people over at Prema, and was entitled 'Rockets and Rayguns'. In the build up to the workshop, it dawned on me that I had never actually made a rocket or a ray gun, so with a bit more laser cutting and screen printing I came up with these little men in their flying machines.

They stand 14 inches tall and come in fully fueled at £125. Which is a damn site cheaper than what NASA will quote you!

Come in, we are open....

Just finished putting the last coat of varnish on the spanking new sign for Snap. Spent a weekend hand painting this little beauty, so hopefully it will have the desired effect of catching peoples eyes from far away and pulling them in the direction of the shop.

 
I really enjoyed doing this project and I am looking forward to seeing it weather and take on some character as we grow old together! There are even some raised little elements on the sign which I think is the cherry on the cake.

Getting you home smoothly.....

Another new print fresh off the production line. Printed these up on heavy Arboreta blotting paper which sounds strange but worked out really well! Tis a 4 colour print in an edition of 20.

As the man in the car says......quality!

Two become four.

Two new gleaming cars have just rolled off the production line. Just in time for my exhibition for the lovely people over at Prema we have an eye catching fire department vehicle and an all sirens blazzing ambulance. That a whole lot of horse power right there!

The complete line up including the police wagon and the sporty little number all fresh from the carwash awaiting new owners!

Going from A to B....

I have been fortunate enough to be selected for the up coming exhibition at Boxbird Gallery in Hove. The theme is anything based around travel and transport so I have taken a trip to the circus. At the moment the image is just a figment of the computers imagination but later this week (when my lovely new screens arrive!) it will be an actual living and breathing screen print.

To see it in the flesh the exhibition runs from Friday 7th May- Thursday 27th May with over 30 top artists from around this here globe of ours.

The Bird House.

A few weeks back I was featured as part of the Motivation Monday thread over at the lovely Apple and the Egg blog. A few of the sketch book pages featured some pencil ramblings that included a strange bird wearing a house that is now reality in the above screen print. Put a little bird house in your soul!
